Smart Money Signals — COR

Based on 1337 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their COR positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 92% of 3.0Y peak

92% of all-time peak
1,337 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 1,457 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding COR is almost the same as a year ago (-3 funds, 0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 40% buying

556 buying835 selling
Last quarter: 835 funds reduced or exited vs 556 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-17 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 135 → 230 → 141 → 124. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

66% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 66% conviction (2yr+) ■ 19% medium ■ 14% new
886 out of 1,337 hedge funds have held COR for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

183 → 135 → 230 → 141 → 124 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 135 → 230 → 141 → 124. COR is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 71% veterans vs 17% newcomers

■ 71% veterans ■ 13% 1-2yr ■ 17% new
Entry-cohort mix of 1,374 holders: 969 (71%) are 2+ year veterans, 173 entered 1–2 years ago, and 232 (17%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
